1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we
give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge
uprightly. 3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are
dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. 4I said
unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up
the horn: 5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with
a stiff neck. 6For promotion cometh neither from the
east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7But God is
the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 8For
in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is
full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs
thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink
them. 9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises
to the God of Jacob. 10All the horns of the wicked also
will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Psalm 76

1In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in
Zion. 3There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield,
and the sword, and the battle. Selah. 4Thou art more
glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 5The
stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of
the men of might have found their hands. 6At thy rebuke,
O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead
sleep. 7Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may
stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 8Thou didst
cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was
still, 9When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek
of the earth. Selah. 10Surely the wrath of man shall
praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 11Vow,
and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him
bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. 12He
shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of
the earth.

Psalm 77

1I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my
voice; and he gave ear unto me. 2In the day of my trouble
I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul
refused to be comforted. 3I remembered God, and was
troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4Thou
holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient
times. 6I call to remembrance my song in the night: I
commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be
favourable no more? 8Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
doth his promise fail for evermore? 9Hath God forgotten
to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember
the years of the right hand of the most High. 11I will
remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders
of old. 12I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk
of thy doings. 13Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who
is so great a God as our God? 14Thou art the God that
doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons
of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 16The waters saw thee, O God,
the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were
troubled. 17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent
out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 18The voice
of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the
world: the earth trembled and shook. 19Thy way is in the
sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not
known. 20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand
of Moses and Aaron.
